Intro

Verse 1

Well I woke up to the sound of silence and guns

were cutting like knives in a fist fight

And I found you with a bottle of wine

your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July

You swore and said we are not

we are not shining stars

This i know

cause i never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that

I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back

Chorus

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on carry on

Verse 2

So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night

at a bar off 75

And we talked and talked about how our parents will die

All our neighbors and wives

[PRE CHORUS]

But i'd like to think

I can cheat it all

to make up for the times i've been cheated on

And it's nice to know

when i was left for dead

I was found and I know not these streets

I am not the ghost you want to be

Chorus

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Bridge

My head is on fire, but my legs they're fine

Cause after all, they are mine

Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone

show me how, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight

[PRE CHORUS]

Cause we are, we are shining stars

We are invincible, we are who we are

On our darkest day, when we're miles away

Sun will come, we will find our way home

Chorus

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Outro

Carry on carry on

Carry on carry on
